- Winch stands, guides and guards
- Drawbar changes and extensions (some need approval, we will check)

Fabrication questions
What size boats do you work on?
We focus on boats up to 24ft, from small tinnies and runabouts to larger centre consoles and pontoons. Send us photos and the length of your boat and we will tell you what is possible.
Can you modify my boat to my own idea?
Often, yes. Send a sketch, a photo of what you have seen on another boat, or just explain what you want to use it for. We will talk through the options and give you a price before we start. We repair and modify existing boats and trailers. We do not build new boats or trailers from scratch.
Do changes to my trailer need approval?
Some do. In Western Australia, changing a light trailer away from the manufacturer's specifications (for example its weight rating or axle set-up) can need approval from the Department of Transport. Simple repairs and fit-ups usually don't. We will tell you what applies to your trailer before any work is done.
Can you fix a leaking or cracked aluminium boat?
Often, yes. Cracked welds, corrosion, split seams, dents and worn transoms can usually be repaired. Send us photos and we will tell you whether it is worth repairing and what it will cost.
Can you collect my boat or trailer?
Yes, within the Peel region. See pick up and delivery.
